The idea for organizing an Advanced Study Institute devoted largely
to neutron star timing arose independently in three places, at
Istanbul, Garching and Amster dam; when we became aware of each
other's ideas we decided to join forces. The choice of a place for
the Institute, in Turkey, appealed much to us all, and it was then
quickly decided that Qe me would be an excellent spot. When the
preparations for the Institute started, early in 1987, we could not
have guessed how timely the subject actually was. Of course, the
recently dis covered QPO phenomena in accreting neutron stars and
half a dozen binary and millisecond radio pulsars known at the time
formed one of the basic motivations for organizing this Institute.
But none of us could have guessed that later in 1987 we were to
witness the wonderful discovery of the binary and millisecond radio
pulsars in globular clusters and, -as if Nature wished to give us a
special present for this the discovery in March 1988 of a
millisecond pulsar in an eclipsing binary Institu- system, the
first eclipsing radio pulsar ever found, and the second fastest in
the sky The discussion of this pulsar, its formation and fate was
one of the highlights of this meeting, especially since its
discoverers were among the participants of the Institute and could
provide us with first-hand information."
